Cassava is a tropical crop which is easy to grow and harvest even during the adverse conditions. It serves as a staple food for a major portion of the global population living in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. As a result of its high perishability, cassava is processed into a number of products such as flour, starch, chips, fillets, etc. Processing enhances the value of the product by reducing its weight, lessening post-harvest losses, removing naturally occurring toxins and extending its shelf life.
